Hia all, newbie obiting problems

[Morty_jhones]

Hia i have been playing a short time now and i am finding myself with a strange problem i launch fine but evey orbital path ends up north south rather than east west i am using an auto pilot mod to launch but even then it still end up north south any idea whats causing it?

There should be a setting somewhere to tell it an "equatorial orbit", or "inclination zero." Polar orbits are nice for some things... but they can make life very difficult in other ways, yeah.

What autopilot are you using, Mechjeb I assume?

This http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/25008-How-to-reach-orbit-and-a-rocket-that-can-do-it-a-walkthrough-for-newbies discusses, among other things, how to fly your ship to an equatorial orbit.

I haven't use it but it sounds like that the autopilot heading has been set to zero. Launch to 90 degrees on the Nav Ball to achieve the East West orbit where Kerbal's rotation will give you a speed boost.
